Genocide Museum and Volcanoes National P

Today started with a sobering visit to the Genocide Musem which was built to memorialize over 1 million Rwandans who were brutally executed in 100 days. The museum focuses on the causes, and we learn that genocide is the final stage of a process whenever powerful extremists preach hatred for other races through insane propaganda. Nazi death camps, Sarajevo, and Cambodia all share the same playbook with similar outcomes. This museum stands as a wake-up call for everyone who thinks, "It couldn't happen here."

On a happier note, our driver Edmond took us to Volcanoes Park and we are now settling into a fantastic lodge, which is near the Ellen Degeneres and Diane Fossey gorilla research complex. Our gorilla trek starts at 6:30 tomorrow am so we're getting quite excited. Expect to see some great pictures tomorrow!Read more
